Pt. 2 What You Don't Know About BDSM: Consent, Trust, and Healing Still Not Asking For It

    • Sexuality

Content Warning: Discussion of trauma, child abuse, BDSM and kink culture, pornography, and domestic violence

Part 2 of a two part episode. We noticed the sound quality of this episode isn't our best, so this is the disclaimer! 

In this episode, Alayna and Mel are joined by a friend of the podcast who is an active member of the BDSM lifestyle. She discusses her personal journey learning and joining the BDSM community as a survivor of trauma. The discussion covers why/how BDSM can be heeling, why communication and consent is important, and how pop culture's portrayal is not an accurate depiction.

This podcast is brought to you by Hope Harbor, A Sexual Trauma Recovery Center where we provide free, confidential services to anyone impacted by sexual violence in south central Kentucky. For more information on services and ways to get involved, check out our website hopeharbor.net where you can also find our blog, Thanks for Asking.

Our theme is Girl Tones' Can't Pause. Girl Tones is a 2-piece punk rock band based out of Western Kentucky. Check out their website girltones.com
